Georgetown Loop Train
I love driving up to Georgetown to have picnics at the lake there. It is by far one of the coolest places to be in the summer time. I have been up there a number of times and have yet to ride the famous George town loop. I hope to do that with my daughter this summer. Here is some info on it for those of you are also interested in riding the train.
